from those estimates.
The estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes are mainly
with the determination of the estimate for loan portfolio, valuation of

Basis of Presentation
The accounting policies used by the Group for the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements differ, in some aspects, from the international
financial reporting standards as summarized below:
a.
74
f.
Repo operations
MIC provides that investments that guarantee repo operations be reduced from
assets and recorded in memorandum accounts.
IFRS establishes that while the property, risks and benefits of an investment
are held, this is recorded in accounting financial asset; recording the contracted
obligation by the received counterparty in the repo operation.
75
j.
76
o. Use of accounting
In the creation of accounts needed to record transactions not covered by the
MIC, entities must first obtain the authorization from the Superintendence of
Banks.
IFRS dot not include a nomenclature of accounts. IFRS provide that operations
must be recorded according with its substance.
p. Deferred income tax
MIC does not contemplate in Section IV. Description of Accounts and
Registration Procedure, the accounting for deferred income taxes, which is
required when temporary differences are identified in accordance with IFRS.
q. Value Impairment of non-financial assets
MIC does not require carrying out an assessment of impairment of nonfinancial assets.
IFRS establishes that the entities must assess at the end of each year if there is
any indication of asset impairment value of any asset. If such indication exists,
the entities will estimate its recoverable amount. The carrying amount of an
asset will be reduced to its recoverable value if, and only if, the recoverable
amount is less than the carrying amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.
